Fix my gun / Modding Tm-22 light primer strike issues

Post image

I recently picked up a tm-22 and I really like it the only downside is it’s having a ton of light primer strike issues atleast once or twice a a mag on average I was wondering if anyone knew how to fix it without sending it back

Also what ammo are you running in it? That many light strikes doesnt seem like an ammo issue so I'd make sure everything is seated correctly.

CCI mini-mag is usually my goto for semis

I used federal,CCI, Norma, eley and a few other others just a test I had lying around and it was the same with a result with all of them

Okay so it definitely isn't ammo then.

Have you tried unscrewing the barrel nut just a smidge and the set screw and make sure the barrel is seated far enough back into the receiver? I've seen that fix it at my local range.

Is the hammer also actually hitting it? Did you check the casings?

I did check all the casings and to me they all look like pretty solid hits not your typical light primer strikes like heavier than normal, but still not setting them off
